Perhaps you could be co-CTO's. Fwiw I can see not liking CUXO

Sounds like what curl does. Maybe curl:{curl commandline}

Well the totp (even in your passwd manager) defends against phishing I'd thought vs password alone.

[lxgr → sceutre]

For a "service based" password manager, sure. (It can prevent the service from ever handing over your encrypted database to an attacker.)

In a local password manager, it doesn't work like that. A challenge-response mechanism can help there, but the cost/benefit analysis looks pretty different there, IMO.

I don't think the acronym helps. I should know better but still read it as Personal Health Information in my head

On: Open letter from the BMJ to Mark Zuckerberg

[sceutre]

This one is a more in-depth rebuttal to the article and indeed BMJ itself; I found it compelling. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/what-the-heck-happened-to-t... It argues that the article was disingenuous to the point of being propaganda.

[sceutre]

If I have 15 sites in google authenticator is it such a win that 1/15th of them will allow me to reset without needing the second factor? Backing up the app or backup codes seems needed to scale to widespread 2FA use.

The latter. You can look at what javascript is emitted on the playground.

  let bar: any, log: any;
  log?.(`foo ${bar()}`);
  
  // becomes
  var _a;
  var bar, log;
  (_a = log) === null || _a === void 0 ? void 0 : _a("foo " + bar());

On: Why we have banned default exports in JavaScript

[sceutre]

In webstorm/intellij say you have a react component, one export per module as you say. The import statements are a tie imo to write by hand:

  import MyThing from "../../components/editors/MyThing";
  import {MyThing} from "../../components/editors/MyThing";

But if it's named, you don't need to stop what you're doing, scroll to the top of the file, type out the import statement by hand, and look over at your code tree and figure out the path to the module you want.

You just type MyT Ctrl-Space and let intellij do all that for you, not even having to move out of the function you're writing.

You shouldn't code around your tools. Your tools are there to serve you, not the other way around. Also, devs on my team use vim, Sublime, Atom, VS Code, Webstorm/IntelliJ, and many more. They all work radically different for things like this.

[hardwaregeek → sceutre]

You can easily add the import statement, named or not, with option-space

So it's exactly like vs code?

We use https://github.com/electronicarts/ea-async at work and quite enjoy it. Baked into the language would be great though.

Typson hasn't been updated for a while, we use https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema which works with recent typescript coupled with https://github.com/mafintosh/is-my-json-valid
